Lions head coach Jim Caldwell had nice things to say about Johnson from Caldwell’s time with the Indianapolis Colts.

“I’ve known him for a while,” Caldwell told Meinke. “The last preseason game typically was against Cincinnati (when I was in Indianapolis), so we’ve been interacting for a number of years. He’s a guy who was obviously very, very good at what he was able to do, and he enjoys watching football.”

Johnson, for his part, had some kind words for third-round rookie wideout Kenny Golladay:

It was fun to watch Johnson play, and he’s always been a character off the field. If tweets from practice are any indication, his visit was a highlight of—but not a distraction from—Friday’s camp session.
